JWANENG: Jwaneng Mayor, Tsietsi Oodira-Kwenje has expressed his disappointment at some residents who have allegedly made it a habit to steal from trucks involved in accidents along the Trans-Kalahari Highway.

The transit road, which stretches from Tlokweng border gate, through Jwaneng, to Gantsi and into Namibia has seen accidents involving trucks carrying goods such as maize, cooking oil and vegetables.  It is alleged that residents between Jwaneng and Sekoma would then grab the goods from the accident scenes.

This, according to Oodira-Kwenje, has led to some Namibian and South African truckers threatening to boycott the Trans-Kalahari Highway citing such crimes along that road.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
